You should buy an entire case of sparkling wine for the holidays.
It was three Decembers ago that my husband and I were in a wine store outside our usual orbit, and happened upon an $11 French sparkling that we adored—and thought was underpriced by at least 30%."We have Teo's party this weekend. Let's make it three."Minutes later, we were walking out the door with not four bottles but 12—an entire case.
Now, as a spirits writer and a mixologist, respectively, my husband and I are prone to over-buying wine—sparkling wine. But we absolutely flew through that box of 12 bottles, quicker than we could have anticipated. And now we can't start the holiday season without a case on hand. Sure, some of these bottles we drink ourselves. But bubbles are versatile. When I'm running out the door to meet my brother's fiancée's mother, who wouldgreet you in December without a Christmas gift in hand? I can return it in kind, with a bottle of bubbles.
Did you decide, on a giddy whim, to impulse-buy a Christmas tree and host an impromptu tree-trimming party, with no time to shop? Bubbles. Forgot about that friend's end-of-year get-together, and you're already running late? Stick a bottle of bubbles in your bag. Neglected to buy a present for that one cousin who shows up to family gatherings at the last minute? Slap a bow on a bottle of bubbles.
With the obvious caveat that not everyone drinks, even the most casual imbiber tends to appreciate a bottle of sparkling wine. It's not like giving a bottle of Scotch or gin that, if not to their taste, will get abandoned at the back of a cabinet. It's inherently festive; if nothing else, they'll open it at New Year's.
